Company Information/Company Information/Order intake
Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Nordex SE's project development unit has gained an
important new customer: for the first time, the Munich municipal utility
Stadtwerke München has acquired a fully built wind farm from the wind power OEM.
Named "Filières", the project comprises four N90/2500 multi-megawatt turbines
and is located in the Lorraine region in North Eastern France. It has a
calculated annual yield of 20.7 gigawatt/hours.
French subsidiary Nordex France, which is one of the most successful project
developers in the country, developed the "Filières" wind farm. In the ensuing
step, Nordex completed the turn-key project for its customer. "Many of our new
customers appreciate such an offer as it permits a professional allocation of
the individual tasks, while ensuring a high degree of planning reliability. This
is also reflected by this contract with the Munich municipal utility, which in
my opinion is one of the most important companies in this segment. I hope that
this ushers in the beginning of a long and successful partnership," says Lars
Bondo Krogsgaard, a member of Nordex's Management Board.
The Munich municipal utility Stadtwerke München (SWM) is one of the pioneers in
renewable energies. It plans to produce sufficient green electricity using its
own facilities to cover the entire requirements of the City of Munich - namely
no less than some 7.5 billion kilowatt/hours - by 2025. In this way, Munich will
be the world's first major city to achieve this goal. Says Dr. Kurt Mühlhäuser,
management chairman of SWM: "The "Fillières" wind farm marks a further step in
our ambitious strategy for renewable energies. At the same time, it is a pilot
project with Nordex. We would be pleased to execute further joint projects with
this new renowned partner."
